A day as a clinical audit assistant
You work at your local NHS hospital, helping make sure national and local healthcare standards are met. You begin at 8am, and your first task is to check the team email inbox; you answer any enquiries about clinical audit and assign messages to the clinical audit facilitators.
Next, you attend a team meeting where you update colleagues on your work plan and discuss your capacity to take on other tasks and support the work of the team. Before lunch, you meet with one of the clinical audit facilitators and two physiotherapists to finalise a an online form you’ve been developing to collect data for a local audit.
Later, you upload data from a spreadsheet to an online platform for a national audit. Before the day ends, you access the hospital’s electronic patient record system to check the accuracy of records in a spreadsheet being used for data collection. You will complete this task tomorrow, ahead of the deadline.
You finish at 4pm after another challenging, interesting day at work.
